There were a lot of figs in the 80s that had unique sculpts (Sy-Klone, Orko, Sorceress, Leech, Mantenna, Blast Attack, etc....) IMO Dactys would definitely fit into the same category.

The vintage figures did, but their Classics versions do not. MOTUC Sorceress, Leech & Sy-Klone do have some new tooling, but a lot of their parts are reused.

The vintage New Adventures figures were all unique sculpts too, but after going through the "Classicizer machine", the Space Mutants ended up sharing the majority of their parts with Kronis/Man-E-Faces.

The bottom line is that Dactys could be made with existing parts, and knowing Mattel they'll look at the result and say "good enough". They won't give a (imo) relatively minor character like Dactys a unique sculpt. He's simply not in the same league as an A-lister with an unusual design like Orko, who needed to be 100% new.

A Classics Lord Dactys might be created using a mix of Whiplash/Draego-Man parts, with a new head, tail, & armour.

Unbelievable that I haven't commented in this thread so far.
Easily my favourite new character from 200X - easily part of my Top 10 most wanted MOTUC figures. Maybe even in my Top 5...
Hail to Dactys, lord of the speleans! May his MOTUC figure be made!

Press down on dragon's head. It will bite off your frickin' fingers !!!

This guy is gona make a pretty awesome toy, but I'm lamenting the fact that he's a royal figure. Not that it matters much - I mean I could use him however I like. One way or another I have a feeling he'll be visually striking.

Alexx has a blog?! Come on in and check out Toys and Tomfoolery! You won't regret it...until the next morning.

Lord Dactys would be amazing and i can see the Draego-Man wings for him. Maybe they will use the furry buck for him?

His feet are tricky but hasnīt Batros gotten his FILMATION feet maybe the could use those again?

I think Lord Dactys will be released soon, precisely because Mattel will want to reuse the expensive Draego-Man wings tools as much as possible and Lord Dactys is the likeliest candidate for that reuse after Granamyr.
